the 1967 Shelby GT500 is one of the most beautiful cars ever made. A 427 should've been an option...

my Uncle raced a 1967 and 1969 Shelby, both with a 427 SOHC “cammer”. He's told me quite a few times that if it wasn't for Stengers ford and “Ohio” George Montgomery in Dayton, Ohio neither car would've been possible. On a few Fridays/Saturdays my Uncle would drive my grandfather and my-5 year old-self in those cars to Stengers ford and then to “make a little spending money” from a few Chevy and Dodge boys in Dayton...I just wish my Uncle would've kept at least one of the cars, hell even a engine.

Although I owned a 68 gt500kr with a 427 side oiler, dealer installed, because the person who ordered the car wouldnt accept it without the 427 he ordered, he ordered it in late 67 when it was on option list.

It’s one of my dream cars. My dad has a 1968 California Special. It’s an amazing car but it’s not the fastback so I feel it loses a bit of its charm

When I got out of the Army in '68, I bought a Mustang GT with the 302 in it...and it was respectfully fast, so I can only imagine the same car with a 427. Wish I had kept my Bullet car :)

My uncle had a GT500 in 1967. I was too young to drive then, but I got a few rides in it. To a young kid, it seemed like a rocket ship although it probably wasn't all that fast by today's standards. His was a stick shift and the thing pulled like crazy in 2nd gear. If you got on it in first gear, forget it. The back tires were up in flames. People forget how light weight the earlier Mustangs were, too. None of the 4000+ pound nonsense you see today with pony cars.

Rodger that on the weight. My first race car build (meaning lousy) was a 67 390 car. It weighted 2850 before the exhaust was put on it, so under 3000 race ready with a full cage. I feel there is no excuse for a Mustang to weigh nearly 4000lbs. I bought an 07 GT and hated it because of the weight. I traded it for a Miata. Much better.

I can see why this car was chosen for Rally Vincent to drive in the Manga series , Gunsmith Cats.

That has always been my dream car...a '67 Mustang with a 427 side oiler...a GT500 would be even better.

427 and this Shelby! What a beautiful piece of American Muscle.

Amazing car. I just finished to collect all the parts to assemble a die cast model of the '67 Shelby GT500, 1:8 scale. It's exactly the same as this, but whit the white stripes. It cost me around 1100 euros and the collecting process took about 2 years. A true legend. Great show, keep up.

Explains so much about this car. Thank you!

Yea, the 427 was a beast. My first job was working at a gas station and I was able to deliver cars often.

Mustang4life. I love them 😍, I’ll take anyone I can get my hands on. That ‘67 is sweet though, great 👍 videos.

This guy's voice is melodic. Love it.

totally would take the 427 + a 4speed

Wow the car, the name, the history. I wish I would’ve lived in those years. Awesome car!!!

one of my most favorite mustangs along with the boss 429.

This is one of the most beautiful card I've ever seen I hope I am able to get one, one day like I'm wanting to

I'm drooling over these cars

Perfect car!

I owned a 67 GT350 4 speed car in Candy Apple Red. I restored it and had a lot of fun with it, and then I made a big mistake selling it. If I had a GT500, It would be awesome to have a 427 in it with a 4 speed. I wouldn't want an automatic trans in a Shelby.

Great video. Very concise but very informative. Always been a 67 fan myself....as well.

Great history about the Shelby / Ford mustang!

427 for me, with top loader 4 speed

Watching this right after building my Lego creators 67 mustang. Fun build, but a little confusing. Fun to get even more info after what’s in the instructions.

I think I'd like to have one of each - the 427 and the 428. And I'd also like to have the Super Snake!

427 all the way.....Thank you for sharing the knowledge from a gentleman who truly knows Shelby history.

I have the same car. Dealer installed 427, exported to South America for most of its life, red with a 4 speed.

I passed a 69 Mach 1 with a Super Cobra Jet 4speed. Unrestored . blue w yellow stripe. Non shaker in 88 for 3000 here in Lubbock Texas. Probably had a Drag pak option. Torquey Engine. No Rust. Alzo a Boss 302 in yellow in 83 for 3500

350 and 500 were also the distance that the small block and big block engine production line were from Shelby’s office.

Saw this fully refurbed today - wow

This car is simply... fantabulous!

ive got a 67 289, but my all time dream car is the 68 Shelby GT 500 KR

Beauty !!

What an absolute beauty

Good video

A 427 Side oiler In a 67 mustang!!! Thank you Shelby!!!

427 ALL DAY LONG

427 ANY DAY OF THE WEEK!!!😁👍👍😎

I understand that the Ford 427, 428 and 429 were different designs, but it is weird to have all three of those engines so close in displacement from one company.

My dream car.

Great video interesting commentary nice line about Shelby's heart transplant too 👍

427 all the way

I loved the 67 289 hipo in the GT350.

2 words dream car

The only mustang people love

Glass fuel filter, tell the owner to remove it before a fire happens..... beautify car! I know of a 67 Acapulco Blue car that needs restoration, likely will be installing a 427 side oil'er for sure, don't think the dealer will be able to do that for me anymore..... lol

If I ever get means, I'm getting 2. One original as possible & the 2nd to customize for cruising, trip taking, or possibly a daily driver. It's just SEXY!

In 1967 a bunch of us all bought mustangs. One friend bought the GT500. He told the dealer he wanted a 427 not the 428 and they said it was not available that way however they knew there were several cars perhaps as many as eight who’d had the dealer install a 427 in the brand new car. Big money. Wonder if this is one?

I love 1967 Ford mustang GT

Friend of a friend had a nice 67 GT 500 in 1972. Yep, mild 428 with dual quads bolted on top. I imagine the 68s got the Cobra Jet, that would have been quicker.

Carroll Shelby and Bob Tasca both offered the 1967 GT 500 with an optional 427 side-oiler if the buyer was willing to pay the additional cost. How many were built? Who knows, surely not many, but there were GT 500's built with a 427 side-oiler. The video states that you had no choice when buying the 67 GT 500 regarding the 428PI motor, which is not accurate. Some were special ordered with the 427.

@wendlormsby

Correct, and the de-tuned "W" code 427 was an option in the '68 GT's too. They were no slouch though, as they made "advertised" 390 HP and 480 LB/FT of twist! Keep in mind that they revved it up to only 4600 RPM... I'd say 420-430 HP @ 6,000 RPM which it was capable of, and then some!

This car is also the star car in gunsmith cats .

The "Side Oiler" that he was talking about was the "R" code which was the bad boy that was raced in NASCAR but, the 427 in that 500 is the "W" code, single 4 barrel, de-tuned version of the "R" code engine.

Balanced properly this can wind nicely

There are three known 427 cars. The super snake came out of Mel Burns Ford in Long Beach, Ca. The problem was the cost. It was 7,000.00. The cost of a 427 Cobra. In stock form the 427 was rated at 425 HP. I have an early 67 Shelby. With a cam change, Ford 427 Iron heads, headers, stainless steel valves, roller rockers and simple durability changes It makes a respectable 512 horsepower and 498 pounds of torque at 5500 rpm and is completely streetable, even maintaining power brakes. There's also nothing to indicate this vehicle was a dealer installed 427 car. The registry shows this as well. Beautiful car none the less, as my Shelby is the same colors with a parchment interior.

427 side oiler👍👍💪

This, this car, is my dream, they are absolutely gorgeous cars, I'm just 21 so I have all my life to save

love everything except the leak prone glass type fuel filter., one piece metal type much safer IMO

Definitely a 427!

Goodyear Tire Co. purchased some 67 GT500's with 427's to test their tires at their test track.

427 all the way Baby.

Had a 68 GT350 white with dealer installed blue stripes. Mine was a 4speed with A/C.

I have to laugh about burnouts. Ive spent 50 yrs getting them to HOOK UP and go. LOL

In our opinion: Possibly the most beautiful car on the planet ...with either engine.

If I could have just the body of this car my dream would be a step closer to reality

I owned a 69 Mach 1 GT that had a 390 in it. The big blocks are kind of a pain in the ass because there's no room in the engine compartment. If you want to put headers on it you have to cut out part of the shock towers and to change the spark plugs I'd have to disconnect the motor mounts and lift the motor up and use extensions on my wrenches to get to them. It was fun as hell though. So much torque!

this is my third favorite car in the whole world

I was born in 67 so I always wanted a 67 Shelby Mustang

427 Side Oiler fo sho

It's sad that that I don't know much about cars but I like this car. Could we rebuild the engine with modern methods?

@T0YCHEST

4 жыл бұрын

best u can do is a gen 2 coyote swap if u want modern technology check out coyote swapped 60s mustangs only issues ud run into the project is the transmission housing is small cause the 60s had a 4 speed tranny at the most and modern coyotes have 6 speeds to 10 spdauto tranny, and ur gonna have to cut out the shock towers and fit a coyote conversion brace to fit the crate engine in, because the original engines are narrower that todays mustangs. my thoughts on wiring is ur gonna have to drill new holes and add new clips for the new engine wire harnesses because there is a lot more, idk if new modern wire harnesses will fit with the old gadge cluster, speedometer, and radio etc cause i never worked on a classic car.

I wish they made cars look this good today

Pete do you have a 1973 Ford Falcon GT 351XB? I hear it's one of the rarest Fords. If not you can always do a video on the 1964 Ford Falcon.

I’d take a 428 with a 427 intake manifold, like Tasca did with the Cobra Jet drag Mustangs in ‘68. All the high-end performance you need to run a quick quarter, and enough durability to drive home from the strip.

Perfection

Gorgeous color. Gt500 wow. 427. 👍

ain't nothing like a old school car. I would never spend my money on a new model car.

I believe a good engine for any Ford of this era was the FE High output 390 cubic inch. Of course not for the Shelby. Had a 67 Galaxie four door post with the regular 390. Was pretty fast for stock and it could tow a boar. Lol.
